The Daily Northwestern reports
The Illinois Senate voted 38-18 on [November 16] to override Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of an automatic voter registration bill.
The bill [...] would automatically register voters who are seeking a new or updated license, or who are seeking other services from state departments such as Human Services or Healthcare and Family Services.
[...]The only two things a citizen should need to vote is being 18 years old and a citizen.
[...]The bill received bipartisan support when it passed through the House by a vote of 86-30 and the Senate with a vote of 42-16.
[...]To fully override Rauner's veto, the Illinois House will also have to vote to override, but it will not back in session until Nov. 29.

I think you're putting too much stock in pseudoscientific IQ tests, which emerged from the social 'sciences'.
but how could you test effectively for that?
How would you effectively test for any of this? How would you prevent tests designed to suppress certain groups of people? How can you even say that someone doesn't deserve to be able to vote just because they don't have the knowledge you want them to have?
Call me Robert A. Heinlein if you like.
You're an authoritarian and so was he.
